Paper Paths

Edit 0 3 …

What paper paths are available for printing on the iPF5100/iPF5000?


There are four paths to feed paper to the printer:

Auto Feed


  • Cassette


  • A "tray" for holding a stack of paper. Located right below the paper output tray.

  • Auto Roll Feed


  • An optional piece of hardware that installs at the back/top of the printer. The tray has to be removed when installing the auto roll feed, but there is still a slot available for feeding paper manually.

Manual Feed (one sheet at a time)


  • Tray


  • Also known as Top Load Manual feed - a vertical slot (looks similar to the feed area for Epson desktop printers) visible when opening a panel on top of the printer, toward the back.

  • Front Paper Feed


  • Also known as Front Load Manual feed - used for loading very thick media. Located right above the paper output tray.
